It's like, at first, it was relatively apolitical except maybe the New Atheists who got popular by criticizing the mostly right-wing religious nutjobs.
But then, I think around the mid-2010s, it started to get super political. Suddenly, everybody started to talk about how the evil wacky removed SJWs were trying to destroy gaming and our culture?
At this point, it seems like many people have snapped out of it and are making fun of these "anti-woke" crazies, but what materially caused this phenomenon to happen in the first place and why does it still persist to an extent?

>'ivory tower level privilege' (to request proper acknowledgement; when I know you'd throw a father-fucking fit if someone questioned your identity and where you deem yourself to fit within the social hierarchy)
>'the right had a point' (about it being 'lunacy' to request proper acknowledgement from crackers dead set on disrespecting those with alternate pronouns) (isn't respect supposed to be a core tenet of fascist ideologies, you prick?)
>helicopter memes (yup, you're just a fascist)
ok settler, go back to /pol/. Everyone who uses Outlook in my workplace has their pronouns at the bottom of their signature block, you're just DELIBERATELY being a shithead.
